Describe your choice of talents and why you've chosen them:

How do you prioritize your stats and why?
str>mastery>multi=haste>crit : dk's have shit deeps atm,let me be honest about this,my 733 warlock outdps's it on burst and sustained np,but thats the stat prio for frost atleast according to simdeeps blabla :)
What do you think about Artifact and how important it is for your spec (traits etc)?
if i remember correctly,you get only 1 artifact weapon in legion for your current spec,and artifact power unlocks traits/relics,so its kind of highest priority to farm it up any way possible asap
Where do you acquire knowledge about your Class?
any forum/theorycrafter thats proper currently,too much time @ work makes you research all you can

Tell us a joke:

A young man was wandering, lost, in a forest when he came upon a small house. Knocking on the door he was greeted by an ancient Chinese man with a long, gray beard. "I'm lost," said the man. "Can you put me up for the night?" "Certainly," the Chinese man said, "but on one condition. If you so much as lay a finger on my daughter I will inflict upon you the three worst Chinese tortures known to man." "OK," said the man, thinking that the daughter must be pretty old as well, and entered the house. Before dinner the daughter came down the stairs. She was young, beautiful and had a fantastic figure. She was obviously attracted to the young man as she couldn't keep her eyes off him during the meal. Remembering the old man's warning he ignored her and went up to bed alone. But during the night he could bear it no longer and snuck into her room for a night of passion. He was careful to keep everything quiet so the old man wouldn't hear and, near dawn, he crept back to his room, exhausted but happy. He woke to feel a pressure on his chest. Opening his eyes he saw a large rock on his chest with a note on it that read, "Chinese Torture 1: Large rock on chest." "Well, that's pretty crappy," he thought. "If that's the best the old man can do then I don't have much to worry about." He picked the boulder up, walked over to the window and threw the boulder out. As he did so he noticed another note on it that read "Chinese Torture 2: Rock tied to left testicle." In a panic he glanced down and saw the line that was already getting close to taut. Figuring that a few broken bones was better than castration, he jumped out of the window after the boulder. As he plummeted downward he saw a large sign on the ground that read, "Chinese Torture 3: Right testicle tied to bedpost."

Hi there

Thanks for the application. I've copied it to our internal board for discussion and we'll come back to you with any questions we may have, so keep an eye on this thread.

With regards to your question, we did some alt raids in HFC but stopped them eventually due to a lack of interest, but that was mostly due to people just being bored of the raid itself. At the start of new tiers we do sometimes run some extra raids on weekends on normal mode to see some of the later encounters or to try and acquire set bonuses for people.

Hope that helps!

Eremor

thank you sir

Hi again

Could you give us a brief overview of your general DPS rotation/priorities. How you use your runic power, talents, procs, abilities etc. Try to be as deatiled as you can.

Regards,
Eremor

very difficult question,you take your face,put it firmly on the keyboard,and give it a proper roll to the other side,then all runic power exhausted,and your deeps is tiptop!

seriously,very difficult question,gonna shamelessly paste the rotation,the sticky is posted on my screen,so its not CHEATING!!! (patch 6.2.4 frost dual wield)

single:
1. Cast Plague Leech (if you have taken this talent)
*only when you have 2 runes fully depleted.
2. Cast Soul Reaper (use Blood Tap if a rune is needed)
*Only when Soul Reaper will tick (5 seconds after the cast) when the target is below 35% health.
3. Cast Frost Strike
*only when you have a Killing Machine proc.
4. Cast Obliterate
*when both your Unholy runes are available OR
*when you have a Killing Machine proc and you have no Runic Power to use Frost Strike.
5. Cast Defile, if you have taken this talent (use Blood Tap if a rune is needed). Only use it if the majority of its
ticks will affect your target.
6. Cast Frost Strike, if you have over 88 Runic Power.
7. Cast Howling Blast
*when you have a Rime proc OR
*when you have a Frost or a Death rune available.
8. Maintain your disease(s) ( Frost Fever and Blood Plague, or Necrotic Plague, if you have chosen this
talent) up at all times.
Apply Frost Fever or Necrotic Plague with Howling Blast, and apply Blood Plague with Outbreak or
Plague Strike. Make sure to use Blood Plague with an Unholy rune, and not with a Death rune.

WHY frost dual wield? in the start of this tier(hfc),it was on par with UH,BETTER singletarget,UH excelled at crap like adds spread out(xhul) and if your raiddeeps was bad,it was op on manno adds.in your guild,the adds get gripped and probably die instantly from cataclysm/crystal or something. When you apply to any guild,the gm will ask first,WHY are you frost and not UH? any MYTHIC raider should be UH by default? i can play all 3 specs(bit rusty with UH,last time i played it was in brf myth progression cause frost was crap). And have the trinkets+weap for UH(only mythic 740 hellrender though).

the playstyle of frost is more fun imo,you dont see many of them,if you see them,they're either very good,or very bad,never ok'ish.Maybe this love for frost came from firelands heroic.In the alpha,it played well,the talents and dps output was solid.Still have to test it properly in BETA(spent most of my testing time with a dh/lock).

Enough rambling,talents..
plaque leech...if a mob/boss moves,Necrotic Plague otherwise defile(VERY good with empty drinking horn)
Opener and priorities: http://sonofalich.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=77
it's a massive bible.you can just aswell print it out and/or sticky it on your screen.

Although this was nice copy/pasting etc,the prepatch hits in like a month anyways,then MOST of this changes...again :P
btag : sunblock#2503 just ask me the most difficult question or /w for some brit jokes

Hey,

Firstly, thank you for responding to Eremor's questions, I have some comments/feedback I would like to add.

The rotation/priority you listed is correct, but Eremor asked you to explain "your rotation" You see, after watching your Tyrant video, it is obvious you are not doing what the guide you copy pasted advises.

1. You were not keeping both diseases on the target 100%. There were times blood plague had dropped, but you did not reapply it with plague strike.

2. You were not using plague leech once you had fully depleted runes. There were times you did try to use it, but because blood plague was not on the target, it did not work.

3. You were not pooling runic power to 88

4. You were not using obliterate with x2 unholy runes, but seemed to be using it when you didn't have enough runic power for frost strike.

5. You were using blood tap at 5 stacks, instead of 10

6. Defile was not always used on cool down.

7. There were times pillar of frost was available, but it took you 10 seconds or so to use it.

8. Soul reaper was successfully cast once at -35% You did try to use it a few times, but you did not have x1 blood rune available.

You seem motivated and reading your response tells me, you at least research and know what you should be doing. Which confuses me if I'm honest.

If you want to chat about anything I've said, please feel free to contact me via battlenet.

wow,such a fast resonse...and you seriously know your stuff,thank you for taking the time to coach that vid bro,much respect <3

as for THAT shit play,dont mind that video,was prolly like the 45th pull for the night,awaiting a wipe to be called when 2 or 3 deeps or 1 healer died to fire or edict or forgetting font.Missing classtimers/soulreaper bind/brainfarting on diseases etc.

Was a VERY fun guild,but we spent like 10 wipes a night to guys ninjapulling the boss for lols before timers or misdirecting to a dude that went to take a piss.swapblasting people into lava on archimonde,many raids called to people deciding to leave because they were full buffed/runed/ate expensive food etc then killed for lols.at the end of a night like xhul dying to the same people not running out with felfire or people soaking purple fire with a debuff tries etc,you kind of lose focus,ESPECIALLY if its on farm,0 new people,9 times killed before.Exactly the same tactics as the last week,you know what to do,but there just is'nt focus.

You just want that last pull to be over,wing it out and pull "ok"ish numbers,then go to bed and pray people get imba overnight,or dont just READ but understand the tactics,that they wiped to for 150+ tries.Hoopla i have felflame debuff,if i go into this purple fire,am i going to kill half the raid? meh lets try it anyways and hope some healer dropped a massive cd :P

no excuses or anything,but you guys on pve servers in proper guilds,dont fuck around all night long 4x nights a week from 7-12 with 10 mins toilet break,because you "have" to be there,but you actually want to be there.so you go to raid,do your stuff,get bosses down and get out,like it's supposed to be.

From previous experience,people on pve servers have a much more serious attitude when it comes to raiding(in general),they still have fun in raids etc,but they dont pull all trash from iskar to socrethar in 1 pull 4x wipes over and over,just for the trolls. Thats like 20-30 mins of literally doing nothing,not even BOE drops cause trash kills the group,people run back,trash kills group,people run back,nothing dies.

As for the ORIGINAL question,aye sir i basically know what to do and when,MOST of the time :P
much respect for calling out all that faults just by watching a vid once :O

just NEVER fail on tactics thats it!

Hi,

Apology for late answer but we were trying to make the best decision there is for both sides. We decided to decline your application as of now. Wish you best luck in finding the best suited guild for you!

Thanks,
Y.
